 # PROVIDE: wpa_supplicant
 # REQUIRE: network mountcritlocal
 # BEFORE:  NETWORKING dhclient
+#
+#      We need to run a command that resides in /usr/sbin, and the
+#      /usr file system is traditionally mounted by mountcritremote.
+#      However, we cannot depend on mountcritremote, because that
+#      would introduce a circular dependency.  Therefore, if you need
+#      wpa_supplicant to start during the boot process, you should
+#      ensure that the /usr file system is mounted by mountcritlocal,
+#      not by mountcritremote.
